> Two years ago, US consumers could see more than 240 detailed health and trait reports, including risk factors for heart attack and type 2 diabetes. Then, at the end of 2013, the Food and Drug Administration clamped down. They implied that 23andMe's tests were inaccurate. They also worried that some consumers would misconstrue the risks, seeking out unnecessary treatments and changing their medication regimes without speaking to their doctors.
I can't even begin to describe how much this enrages me: I, a purportedly-free citizen of a purportedly-free republic, am not permitted to pay a firm to do its best to give me accurate information, because some unelected third party is concerned that I may make bad decisions based on that information.
What business of the State's is it if someone chooses to change his medical regimen without consulting his physician? It's his regiment, not the State's; it's his health, not the State's.
I'm a free man: I should be permitted to consult the best firms and practitioners I can in order to make decisions for my own lifestyle.
